Cavity-controlled formation of ultracold molecules
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Ultracold ground-state molecules can be formed from ultracold atoms via photoassociation followed by a spontaneous emission process. Typically, the molecular products are distributed over a range of final states. Here, we propose to use an optical cavity

Sub-Natural-Linewidth Quantum Interference Features Observed in Photoassociation of a Thermal Gas [PDF]
, 2005 By driving photoassociation transitions we form electronically excited molecules (Na$_2^*$) from ultra-cold (50-300 $\mu$K) Na atoms. Using a second laser to drive transitions from the excited state to a level in the molecular ground state, we are able ...

Feshbach-resonant Raman photoassociation in a Bose-Einstein condensate
, 2011 We model the formation of stable heteronuclear molecules via pulsed Raman photoassociation of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate near a strong Feshbach resonance, for both counterintuitive and intuitive pulse sequencing.

Photoassociation Spectroscopy of Laser-Cooled Ytterbium Atoms [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2004 We report the photoassociation spectroscopy of laser-cooled ytterbium atoms in an optical trap. We observed more than 90 photoassociation resonances of vibrational levels in the (1)Sigma(+)(u) state, including 80 consecutive series, up to 490 GHz detuning with respect to the atomic resonance.

Continuous production of rovibronic-ground-state RbCs molecules via short-range photoassociation to thebΠ13–cΣ1+3–BΠ11states [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2018 We have investigated rovibronic levels of the strongly mixed $b^3\Pi_1-c^3\Sigma^+_1-B^1\Pi_1$ states [the 2(1), 3(1), and 4(1) states in Hund's case (c) notation] of $^{85}$Rb$^{133}$Cs in the energy range of 13950$-$14200 cm$^{-1}$ using short-range ...
